Steve Newall: Flicks.co.nz editor on the newly-released Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin

Sci-fi blockbuster Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes was released to theatres last week - a long-awaited sequel to the earlier trilogy series.

Set a few generations after 2017's War for the Planet of the Apes, this film explores two rival groups of apes battling it out in an overgrown world.

Flicks.co.nz editor Steve Newall says the film is also filled with visual call-backs to the original Planet of the Apes.
